About Me

Take a look inside my crazy world. I'm passionate about being creative with all types of media. I enjoy using ephemera and vintage images in art and collages. Love mixing it up with pretty paper and anything old and grungy.

since I've posted on here. Ruby has reminded me that Scarletthas been the center of attention long enough. I've been away from my other passion way too long. I've missed my other creative outlet of collage making. I'm the type of person who gets singularly focused on one thing and it takes priority over everything else. My stitching is a priority, it's an everyday thing, but after a while I start to hear the nagging voice of other creative pursuits. Ignoring it no longer, I sat down the other day and made these journals. I'll put them on my Etsy shop and see if there's any interest. Speaking of Etsy, I'm almost at the point of being tired of painting my little needlework accessories. I love it that people have been so receptive, but if I get to the place where it's no longer fun, it ends there.

I'd like to give a shout out to my dear sis-in-law, Julie, who's recovering from surgery. She recently pointed out that I've been neglecting this blog. She's right, so this post is for her. Get well soon, Julie, and make your way to the warm sun soon.

How I chose my blog name...

I received this card shortly before I was to take my first vacation with Ruby. A dear friend sent it to me with "Road trip with Ruby" written inside. The saying has stuck with me ever since. My life's journey wouldn't be the same without my beloved dogs coming along for the ride.
